SteriPack, a global contract manufacturing service provider to the medical device, diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries, acquired Morristown, N.J.-based HS Design Inc. (HSD), an ISO 13485 certified product development company specializing in advancing healthcare through design.
SteriPack and HSD will provide flexible and responsive design, development, and contract manufacturing solutions, integrating holistic product lifecycle management services.
For over 40 years, HSD has collaborated with corporations, institutions, researchers, and clinicians in designing medical devices. The firm has extensive experience integrating human factors in design, resulting in safer and more intuitive products.
HSD's user-centered design process forms the foundation for their industrial and interaction designers. They excel at balancing product architecture requirements with visual elements in digital and physical embodiments, encompassing all aspects of usability while being sensitive to aesthetic design and branding requirements. These front-end efforts, coupled with HSD's strong engineering capabilities balance technical functionality with manufacturing quality, reliability, and value.
"Looking forward, HSD will enhance SteriPack's team to include an agile organization focused on creative problem solving and design with strong technical expertise," Andrew McLean, CEO of SteriPack told the press. "Additionally, this acquisition further expands our operations in the United States. We will now have the ability to provide a full suite of product lifecycle services, commencing with new ideas all the way through to manufacturing and commercialization."
"SteriPack's shared values, culture, and innovation make it an ideal fit for HSD," said Tor Alden, president of HS Design. He further commented, "The combination of our companies takes advantage of the strengths in both organizations. HSD has a history of collaboration that will continue and grow with SteriPack's regulatory and global manufacturing. We are excited to become the innovation and design center for SteriPack, serving existing and new clients."
